Shout out to all the teams in 1st place with 5 or less losses on the road :salute:

Buxton a multi hit game. Berrios making hitters look foolish.

Three teams might make the playoffs in the nl west lol

Right now the nl wildcard is basically down to the two teams in the nl west who don't win the division and the Cardinals

Usually I'd say it's way too early to say that but look at the rest of the nl those teams stink I can't see anyone else finishing over 500

The Mets healthy could but their destroyed by injury and probably will have dug too big a hole by the time they get their players back

Who else is their u can see making a run? The Pirates might have the talent but they've been bad and if they continue to lose they'll be sellers at the deadline

Colorado knew that Charlie Blackmon and Nolan Arenado would be good.

They probably didn't expect Mark Reynolds to be good though. Reynolds somehow has managed to steadily lower his strikeout rate. Four years ago it was 30%. Now it's down to 22%. With his power that changes a lot.

David Dahl will return soon to take over for Gerardo Parra, who held his own in April batting .282 with 5 HR.

Expect Freeland and Senzatela's ERAs to go up.
Also, the Rockies are 9-1 in one-run games. So we'll see if that keeps up.

They may very well be in the WC hunt late in the season, but if the Dodgers get healthy I think they're the team to beat in the NL West. (Though I can't believe they are playing Chase Utley. He's awful).
